firm. The workers were engaged in
activities related to the supply of
mortgage underwriting services.
The subject firm reports that workers
from On Call Staffing Solutions were
employed on-site at the subject firm.
The Department has determined that
these workers were sufficiently under
the control of the subject firm to be
considered leased workers. Based on
these findings, the Department is
amending this certification to include
workers from On Call Staffing Solutions
working on-site at the subject firm.
The amended notice applicable to
TA–W–80,278 is hereby issued as

Certification Regarding Eligibility To
Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the
Trade Act of 1974, as amended (‘‘Act’’),
19 U.S.C. 2273, the Department of Labor
issued a Certification of Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance on January 6, 2012,
applicable to workers and former
workers of Chicopee, Inc., a subsidiary
of Polymer Group, Inc., including onsite leased workers from Manpower
Staffing, North Little Rock, Arkansas

in employment related to the
production of non-woven roll goods.
On March 19, 2012, the State of
Arkansas filed a petition on behalf of
maintenance workers at the subject firm
(TA–W–81,428). During the
investigation of TA–W–81,428, the
Department determined that there was a
causal nexus between subject firm’s
closure and the workers’ separations
and that, therefore, worker separations
through March 1, 2012 are attributable
to conditions specified in the Trade Act
of 1974, as amended. The Department
has also determined that, given the
particular facts presented, it is
appropriate to amend this certification
to include workers who, due to the
subject firm’s compliance of federal
regulations, were separated after January
6, 2012.
The Department’s decision in this
case is limited to the precise
circumstances of this specific case and
should not be considered as any
indication of how the Department
would proceed in other cases or in other
subsequent rulemaking on this subject.
The amended notice applicable to
TA–W–71,897 is hereby issued as
follows:
All workers from Chicopee, Inc., a
subsidiary of Polymer Group, Inc., including
on-site leased workers from Manpower
Staffing, North Little Rock, Arkansas, who
became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after July 31, 2008,
through March 1, 2012, and all workers in
the group threatened with total or partial
separation from employment on January 6,
2010 through March 1, 2012, are eligible to
apply for adjustment assistance under
Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act of 1074,
as amended.

Determinations Terminating Investigations of Petitions for Worker
Adjustment Assistance
After notice of the petitions was published in the Federal Register
and on the Department's Web site, as required by Section 221 of the Act
(19 U.S.C. 2271), the Department initiated investigations of these
petitions.
The following determinations terminating investigations were issued
in cases where these petitions were not filed in accordance with the
requirements of 29 CFR 90.11. Every petition filed by workers must be
signed by at least three individuals of the petitioning worker group.
Petitioners separated more than one year prior to the date of the
petition cannot be covered under a certification of a petition under
Section 223(b), and therefore, may not be part of a petitioning worker
group. For one or more of these reasons, these petitions were deemed
invalid.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following determinations terminating investigations were issued
because the petitioning groups of workers are covered by active
certifications. Consequently, further investigation in these cases
would serve no purpose since the petitioning group of workers cannot be
covered by more than one certification at a time.
